In an earlier email, from the "Installing Fedora from ISO Images"
thread, I wrote:

The installation ran all the way through to the post-install
configuration. Yehaaa!!!
But, don't pull out the beer just yet, then it crashed as follows:
mini-wm: fatal io error 2 (connection reset by peer) on x server :1.0
the application "anaconda" lost its connection to the display :1.0
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the
application
install exited abnormally
sending termination signals...

I'd recommend you try the install again, but install in text mode--not
in graphic mode ("boot: text").
If that works, then we can work on getting X functional.

So, the question is... How exactly do I force a text-based install?
Is this a LILO option that I set in lilo.conf?
Thanks again for everyone helping out.
